Bears vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks prediction

Northamptonshire Steelbacks are a shadow of their former selves right now. Once the runaway pace setters in the North Group, now they face a battle just to qualify for the quarter-finals. Bears meanwhile, were winners in their local derby away at Worcestershire Rapids on Friday and have now won three of their last four since the break.

Momentum is such a key factor in T20 cricket and especially in a competition such as this. Northamptonshire have clearly lost theirs and right now don't seem to have any idea how to get it back. It doesn’t bode well for them against a hot Bears side, who have to be favoured to come out on top.
